Turn ing to a fellow K. P. he said: “What d’you suppose dat sergeant mean when he call us K. P.?’’ “Ah dunno,” replied his co-worker. “But from de look on his face. Ah thinks he meant ‘Keep Peeling.’ ” Chatter Vs. Jabber Central Warehouse Office By Glennice Jones Our office has really been acting strangely since summer arrived. Things have happened that have NEVER been seen before. Mildred Hodges reverted to her younger days by wearing “pig-tails” one day. In fact, someone actually ask ed some of our girls who the little girl was who was with them. You know who it was. Then one afternoon we had to drag Malvene Ferguson away from the win dow. An ensign was the attraction, but we haven’t found out who he is yet. We can account for the reason why some are so excited. Kathryn Atkins’ husband is coming home and Kathleen Hunnicutt has left to go and see her husband in Texas. We were pleased to see Jesse Bur ton’s picture in the paper last week. We were very proud, and happy also, to learn that he had received the Air Medal for Meritious conduct. Girls, please note: August 3rd is the date we must all reniember. It is a birthday and he’s telling us early. (You’ve heard of “Do Your Christmas Shopping Early.”) Mr. Joyce, do you know anything about this? Have you heard Miss Annie Millner tell about her lunch on an airplane? That country ham sounded good. Annie says that they have special trays to hold the food, too. We’ve been miss ing something, we believe. We are sorry to hear that Mrs. Lucy Connor’s mother is in the Radford, Va., hospital. We have been worried lately about who would protect us when the men are gone, but after seeing the Home Guard girls down at Camp Carolina protect themselves from the wolves down there, we really feel assured. It was certainly good to see Jesse DeHart come walking in the other day. It seemed like ole’ times. We hope that it won’t be long until we see all of you boys home again! (Ed. Note: Glennice has a badly sprained ankle after falling out of the car into a ditch Saturday night. What was the matter, Glennice?) r . . . — Blanket Mill By Katherine Turner Sgt.
